9 VIN (Vehicle Data Card) Established in 1954, American automobile manufacturers use a vehicle identification number, or VIN, to describe and identify motor vehicles. Beginning with the 1981 model year, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in the USA required that all over-the-road-vehicles sold must contain a 17-character VIN. This standard established a fixed VIN format. Often found on the steering head portion of the frame, the VIN encodes the vehicle's year, make, model, body and engine style and unique serial number.

Each motorcycle Owner and Service Manual lists the location of the VIN and engine number. In the early nineties, Suzuki instituted a frame program where street model replacement frames would receive an identification label which used a portion of the original VIN number. So if you have a late model Suzuki street motorcycle, even if it has received a replacement frame, it will have a VIN number or identification label on the steering head portion of the frame. The VIN is a record of manufacture and can tell us in the first three digits the country of origin, the manufacturer and the vehicle type.

The next four or five digits denote the manufacturer’s model and series code for a particular machine i.e., SC282 (pre 1995 Honda Fireblade) or GM51A (Suzuki GS500E). Some manufacturers use an eighth digit to identify the model series or engine. The ninth digit is a check digit and allows the manufacturer or authorities to see if the VIN is genuine or not (it would be unwise to give examples).

The tenth digit denotes the year of manufacture. A manufacturer’s assembly plant is identified by the eleventh number and the remaining digits are known as the sequential number. Useful, you might think, but unfortunately unlike most four-wheel vehicles, there is no legal requirement in most of the European countries (yet) for motorcycles to have a VIN, although it is used since 1977 as an International standard (ISO 3779).

VDS (Vehicle Descriptor Section) In countries that haven't adopted the use of VIN codes (most of the European countries) the VDS code that also can be found in the VIN code tells you the type (model code) of the bike.
